Manchester City

[Bredbury Blue]

Back to football and not tabloid sensationalism.

 

Mendy has become a real worry of late. There's no disputing his good effect up top but his defending, which has always been up for question, has become very erratic in the last few games - I'm sick of seeing him missing the ball. One article I've read reckons we should  give zinchenko more of a run out but while he's more of a balanced team player than  Mendy or Delph, im not sure. This has got to be Peps biggest dilemma every game. We only have one left back on our books (maybe shouldn't have let Angelino move on) so i reckon this and a defensive midfielder will be the two players we buy next summer.

The first time i've ever heard the Daily Telegraph referred to as a tabloid and being sensationalist!!  Do you really think the editor of this paper is daft enough to run this if he didn't think the contents were rock solid?  If you do you are very naive.  City are quite rightly saying nothing until they have heard more and the lawyers are in a position to tell them just what sort of a shit storm they are in.

 

I'm bang on the money about the MrB and Bredbury losing track of reality.

 

Anyway, back to Mendy.

interesting to hear Der Spiegel throwing the word "cheat" about a number of times. presumably they have the evidence to back that up.

 

good listen on it here on the irish times second captains podcast. from about 34 minutes in: 

 

 

nice one, I'll have a listen to that later ????

also from 1hr 7mins or so, rory smith talking about it and some of the stuff he understands der spiegel to have not yet published.

 

edit: smith makes a good point about tribalism around this issue as it goes. there's no need for tribalism, if something's wrong it's wrong and is bad for the game as a whole.

I think what's been thrown out so far is the tip of the iceberg.  Der Spiegel also seem very confident, not concerned about possible legal action.  

 

I wonder if the City board are feeling as confident as MrB and the Bredbury?  I doubt it, their silence is deafening.

Perhaps City have appointed Sepp Blatter as their new lawyer?

The usual Totts muppetts 

having a axe to grind against M/City which in my view has come rather tedious !!!

They should peruse the dealings of Levy.s Enic and Old Bahamas Joe.s Tavistock which controll Totts F C 

makes M/City look like choir  boys

very jealous lot. all down to not winning a crumpet and  a cold  one at that!!

You can hardly accuse them of breaking FFP Rules, in fact i wish they would ????

No space for Messi Alfredo with Eriksen, Lamela and Moura all on top form.

If it helps to take your mind off the dross you are having to put up with nev, carry on. It's a pretty sad life at the moment being a Red. Never in my life have I heard of Spiegel but all of a sudden it's the source of all truth

but

sheer jealousy!!!!!

Maybe if you took interest in investigative journalism you would be one of the 840,000 weekly readers, largest in Europe. Far from the Daily Express.

I believe Spiegel translates as Mirror...the German Daily Mirror ????

Really?  You've not been following the last 2 days on your page? How is United's youth based, driven success under Fergie comparable. How is United's vision and business model of the 90's which turned real revenue, built on the team's success even remotely comparable to your lottery win and what appears to be subsequent breaking of the rules. 

 

These are damning reports on how you got to where you are. These are not opinions, they are based on documents that have been leaked.

Now you are totally clutching at very thin straws. In all the years on this forum not once has anybody ever quoted them before about anything. Absolute tosh and you know it. I'll start quoting the Sun if you like
